Why your AI "hallucinates" (and how to fix it) 🍞
Ever feel like the AI is just making stuff up? It’s not trying to lie to you—it’s just a world-class pattern-finder following the "breadcrumbs" you left. If the crumbs are too far apart, the AI fills in the gaps with its best guess.
In the Lab, we think of a prompt as a trail. If you want the AI to reach a specific destination, you have to place the crumbs closer together.
3 Quick Tips for a Clearer Trail:
- Skip the Subtext: AI doesn't "get" hints. If you want a friendly tone, tell it: "Use a warm, conversational tone."
- Define the Scope: Instead of "Tell me about marketing," try "Give me 3 beginner strategies for digital marketing."
- The Goal Check: Always include a verb. Use "Summarize," "Rewrite," or "Brainstorm" so the AI knows exactly what action to take.
What’s one task you’ve been "vague" with lately? Let’s try to tighten that breadcrumb trail together!
